Deep Dive Interview: Designing the Mia Hand
MarwaEldiwiny · x · 2026-07-18
This is a discussion on the robot hand/gripper design of the Mia Hand, stemming from an interview by @GoingBallistic5 with Francesco Clemente from Prensilia.
The focus is on breaking down the Mia Hand's design. It also promotes Francesco's newly launched Substack and his first article, “Grippers or Hands: A False Dichotomy.” The core takeaway is that robotic end-effectors shouldn't be reduced to a simple “gripper vs. hand” binary, but should be evaluated based on specific tasks and design trade-offs.
